Asheville – Enka added its 26th all-time loss to the Cougars out of 30 meetings in front of a homecoming crowd at Asheville High Memorial Stadium, losing 45-7 to the Cougars.

The game was over almost as soon as it began. Asheville scored o­n its first three drives and led 28-0 at halftime.

Enka’s sole scoring drive came with 2:15 remaining in the fourth quarter; a TD pass from Jeremy Buchanan to Jackson Young.

Asheville had over 500 yards of total offense, 420 yards  o­n the ground.

Homecoming festivities also took place, as the queen was crowned. Watch the Cougar Sports Network broadcast of this game o­n Channel 16 all week long.

ASHEVILLE -- After a week off to recover from what was o­nce thought to be a "season ending" loss to the A.C. Reynolds Rockets in Asheville's opening game, the Cougars bounce back with a vengeance to roll over East Burke 31-13.

After the season opener, polls rated Asheville below Madison  and near the bottom of the conference... that is, until top ranked (and still state ranked) T.C. Roberson fell to the Rockets by a greater margin than Asheville.

Asheville scored a touchdown each quarter against East Burke, including two rushing TD's by Rahkeem Morgan, 1 rushing TD by Rico Parks, and a pass to Troyce McCants. Reed Turchi added a field goal. 

With a 14-0 Cougar lead at the half, East Burke came back with two short runs in the fourth quarter for touchdowns, but it wasn't enough.

Asheville plays at 2A powerhouse Brevard away next week. The game will not be televised, but will be carried o­n 1310 Big WISE and o­nline.
